My self worth is probably really fucked . I don’t think it’s something I can get past to the point where I ever try dating again.

I got banned from all dating apps like 1.5 years ago, and honestly has been a wonderful 1.5 years. I still talk to girls, but it's not these left wing middle class NPC girls with no personality that are found on dating apps. Obviously not as much easy sex happening, but who fucking cares.

It will be tough going for the majority of women because obviously they can't all get a quality relationship from 15-20% of men. The bottom 80-85% of men either can't get dates or can't get enough interest to be too selective in what they want from a woman. Like the situation for women -- this can lead to friction in the relationship later on down the line.
You'd be surprise. This drug dealer coworker of mine is married to a girl 25 years younger than him and still fucks his ex wife and several others. Women absolutely don't mind sharing chad as long as they know they have enough resources/attention coming to them.

I stopped dating, and it's been amazing. Women thought they could all turn into massive kunts for a few years there during Covid, and thought they could just continue on with life and have everybody forget about it. Sorry, that's not how this works.

It kinda sucks, because 2021 or 2022 were perfect years for me to try to lock down a wife. Now 5 years later, I just simply don't care that much.

Based on age of the MISC, I think we all just hear it sucks because dating in your late 30s/40s sucks. Divorced broken people, most with kids or some kind of baggage and people that have become accustom to being alone and not flexible enough for a partner.

I know some true bombshell 40 year olds and they are undatable, all they post about is 'healing' after past relationships, and blah blah blah. New guy wants to go out fishing for a day and they freak out. etc etc. Its not that they aren't hot, but nobody wants to deal with their bullshit.

When I was 40 and then again for a spell in my late 40's, dating was ridiculously easy, like shooting fish in a barrel. I could literally load up Tinder/Bumble on a Wednesday and get laid that weekend, or at least the following weekend. Had at least 3 girls on rotation at any given point, sometimes 4-5 (got to be a headache). I haven't been in the game for a few years now, but I think if I was, I'd still have the same level of success. And that's of course, with my age demographic, but I also dated the occasional girl way younger for fun because I knew where to find them.

What I find most men lack is not only basic people skills and taking care of themselves with the bare minimum of looking decent, but also the idea that it's a game and you have to assume the rules are stacked against you and learn to play with them rather than against them. They also lack any idea of realistic expectations. News flash: if nobody is matching with you, it means you're swiping on girls who are out of your league. It will happen occasionally, but very infrequently.

You also need to be able to follow the process. Match, then chat, then date, then fuck. Lots of guys rush the process or are total autists when it comes to game and getting women to bang them.

TL:DR: It's not actually that bad, you're just bad AT it.

How exactly were you matching with women? What age range were you snashing?

Obviously mostly women my age or slightly younger (typically 35-45, rarely went older unless the woman was a super cougar and hot for 50), but I also matched once in a while with girls in their 20's who liked older guys.

I had good pics - helped that I had pro band photos because I was a lead singer of an alt rock band, a pic in the gym, my dog is cuter than your dog, etc.

I always make sure leave Yelp reviews of those I date.

Eyes too far apart. Would leave zero stars if I could.

One star out of five. Would not date again.

more true than most can be self reflective enough to admit.

women get more picky with age because of the hyper competitive dynamics between women (and often already having children)...and men become slightly less controlled by the power of pucci (other than what may lead to casual sex) so they are more prone to gravitate closer to their comfort zone/peace in the long term.

I dunno. coincidentally this came up in a Quora sent to me today. Yeah...life is prettty pretttty good without being a relationship for its own sake. of course a great relationship is best but you have to go back to the 80/20 rule. personally, not worth chasing as its pointless. some women might even get the "ick" if you have to pursue them (umm...too clingy!).

btw: watching soccer now, drinking a beer. imagine if someone was on your back about doing that and nagging you? no thanks.

also I'm a baseball/golfcel so I'm busy all summer anyways.

banging women is pretty boring once you've done it a few times, don't get me wrong, an 18 year old latina will always get the dong hard, but i am talking beyond lust

but

sloots are now comparing men to what they see online, which is mostly fake, a lot expect perfection

Because not everyone wants to pay $500 for a coffee and then risk getting zero physical contact in return

At least going on a date gives some probability of getting laid

Women hate being bored

They would rather have a bad boy smack them around and cheat on them and get the adrenaline rush than have some over pleasing SIMP do everything right for them

Coolidge effect is very real

I think once you had like idk over 10-15 women you're ruined and always want new pussy

Some of them guys that only had 1-4 girls then married young and stayed faithful they are just used to it so it's not a big deal to them

This is generally true for women who are younger, like under 30. After that women want more of a provider and will look for a stable guy, even if they don't think he's as hot. Priorities shift from the dopamine rush to wanting to know what to expect.

At the end of the day, women want a guy who's confident enough to know he has options and he's choosing to spend time with her, not desperate to spend time with her. I openly used to tell the girls I was dating that I was non-monogamous, and with some of them, it actually made them competitive for my time and in bed as well.

Years of lifting and miscin has altered my acceptable physique in women towards the top 10%. I know that I simply cannot make the sacrifices needed to have a healthy relationship unless that body is quality. I'm just disgusted by weakness. And by now, almost every chick with a body is either a plastic alien looking owl sloot or already taken.

Held the door open for a 8/10 low 20's at the gym yesterday. She smiled, took her ear pods out and said thank you while holding eye contact. Caught a feel, then I'm doing weighted pull ups and she comes over to use the cables a foot away. I tap her on the shoulder to ask if I can do pull ups a foot away from her face and shes smiling and cool about it. I start my set and shes just staring in the mirror. I figured i'd chat her up towards the end of the workout when the timing is better for conversation. No joke, watched 3 guys walk up and chat her up. Felt like I was holding a ticket at a deli. Jestermaxxin ain't for me, and unfortunately that's required.

Last week a mutual friend recommended a chick that he showed pics of me and she said she was down for a date. Didn't like her pics enough. But that just shows "normal" routes of dating are still alive and well, just in shooting gallery of online fake life.

Not a good thing imo
